Don’t Fool Yourself – There Is No Work/Life Balance

The idea of achieving work/life balance is a modern-day knockoff of the American Dream, rooted in the minds of ambitious yet overworked professionals who want to “have it all” — work and play, career and family.

I don’t believe there is such a thing as “work/life balance.” You don’t hear people talking about finding a “family/life balance” or an “eating/life balance.” IT’S ALL LIFE.

Achieving work/life balance means having equilibrium among all the priorities in your life . But, as difficult as work/life balance is to define, most of us know when we’re out of balance.
